Over the last three years as a wedding photographer, I have learned many things about weddings and packaging. As I find myself half way through my second year full time, I think I have finally came up with a system that really works for me. I briefly tried different ‘packages’ or ‘tiers’ to my wedding […]

Let me start by saying, yes the wedding timeline is VERY important. But also, your day will NOT fall apart if your timeline does not play out exactly as expected! Consider your wedding day timeline or itinerary as your insurance policy. Having a plan of action not only insures that your day with flow smoothly, […]

During the summer and fall wedding seasons, I always try to give my couples the option to add sunset or golden hour portraits into their timeline. I do this for a number of reasons; The light is TOO good. While we can’t always anticipate that we will have golden light (hello unpredictable Midwest weather!), at […]

While most of my couples do opt for a first look, I certainly respect the choice of the couple either way. I’m listing a few key incentives of having a first look, not to persuade my couples, but to make you aware that if I have less time, you will have less portraits of just […]

Hi friends, I’m Kaylee Creighton. I’ve been photographing weddings for three years, but on my second year as a full time wedding pro.

One of my biggest timeline questions I get during the planning process is; “How long do family portraits take and when should we do them?” Good news for my client’s; I’ve done this a time or two and I can help you execute them flawlessly, I just need a little help from you to make […]

About a year and a half ago, I had just gone full time. I quit my job in November, and left college in February to pursue my dream job full time. My business was thriving; from photography (branding, weddings, and small business) to meeting with clients and other creatives alike. I was TOO busy and […]

In June of 2018, we welcomed our first puppy, Sophie. Being a social golden doodle, we knew it wouldn’t be long before we added another pup to our family. Just shy of a year later, we present to you, Stella. Stella is eight and a half weeks old. She is a chocolate labradoodle with the […]

It’s no secret that I love coffee and maybe even more, coffee shops. Indianapolis is home to some wonderful locally owned coffee shops. For local clients, I always suggest meeting at a coffee shop that is a good half way point for the two of us. Why coffee shops? Because they are a neutral ground, […]
